Question 1

What is a shadcn slider?

Accepted Answer

A slider picks a value, or a range with two thumbs, by dragging along a track. shadcn.io's Slider is built on Base UI, React Aria, Ark UI or Radix UI in React, and on Ark UI in Vue, Svelte and Solid, each giving the thumbs the slider role and keyboard support, styled with Tailwind CSS. Every example here is one small file showing one pattern.

Question 2

Are these slider examples free?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Every example is free to use in personal and commercial projects, with no attribution. Seeing the code and installing it takes a free shadcn.io account.

Question 3

Slider or a native range input?

Accepted Answer

A native range input styles differently in every browser and has one thumb. The Slider looks the same everywhere, takes two or more thumbs for ranges, and keeps the keyboard behavior people expect.

Question 4

When should I use a slider instead of a number input?

Accepted Answer

A slider when a rough value is fine and people explore, such as volume or a price range. A number input when the exact value matters and people know it, such as a quantity. The Synced with Input Field example pairs both.

Question 5

How do I build a range slider with two thumbs?

Accepted Answer

Give the slider two values, such as 25 and 75, and it draws a thumb for each; the filled stretch between them is the range. See Basic Range Slider and Price Range Slider, and Range with Constraints for a minimum gap.

Question 6

How do I show the value or step labels?

Accepted Answer

Control the slider and print the value beside its label, as With Value Display does. For steps, set the step and write the stops under the track, as Slider with Step Indicators does.

Question 7

How do I make a vertical slider?

Accepted Answer

Set the orientation to vertical and give the slider a height, for example by putting it in a box with h-48. Without a height the track has no length to travel. The Vertical variant shows several layouts.

Question 8

How do I install a slider example?

Accepted Answer

Sign in, open the example, and run the install command under Installation. The CLI adds the example to your project along with the Slider component and anything else it uses, for the framework and library you picked.

Question 9

How do I set the step and range?

Accepted Answer

Set a step to snap the thumb, such as 5 or 25. Set the minimum and maximum for the range; React Aria names them minValue and maxValue. Each example's FAQ shows the props for your library.

Question 10

When should I save the value?

Accepted Answer

The change callback runs on every step while a thumb moves. Save or fetch from the end-of-change callback, which runs once when dragging stops; each example's FAQ names it for your library.

Question 11

Which libraries do slider examples depend on?

Accepted Answer

shadcn.io's Slider (built on Base UI, React Aria, Ark UI or Radix UI in React, and Ark UI in Vue, Svelte and Solid), Label, Tailwind CSS, and Lucide icons where an example shows them. A few also use Button or Input.

Question 12

Are the sliders accessible for keyboard and screen reader users?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Each thumb has the slider role with its value, minimum and maximum. The arrow keys move it by one step, Page Up and Page Down by a larger step, and Home and End jump to the ends. Every example names its slider so screen readers say what it sets.

Question 13

Can I use these slider examples with React Server Components?

Accepted Answer

Slider is a client component, since it handles dragging and keys. Render it inside a server-rendered page, in a small client component that holds the value.
